Can a servant who cannot share the burdens of a young lady be considered a good servant?
Why not just pack your bags and leave?
Liu Dong'er weighed the matter carefully.
As he walked out of the young lady's room, he kept thinking about this and that, and something seemed off.
Liu Dong'er knew about Liu Xi'er's previous attempts to seduce the Qiao sisters. If Liu Xi'er hadn't met with such a tragic end, she would still be the one carrying the shoes for the Eighth Miss, not Liu Dong'er.
The girl the Eighth Miss is now trying to deal with is still this girl surnamed Qiao.
During the day, he had already gone with Miss Eight to meet this Miss Qiao. Hey, Miss Qiao has so many people supporting her.
To be honest, he had never seen a girl so charismatic among men, speaking so knowledgeably about farming. If he had met Miss Qiao a year earlier, and if she had taught him farming skills a year earlier, he could have been self-sufficient at home, tending a garden and a fishpond, living a peaceful and happy life with his family.
Why should I stay in this prefect's mansion and live a life worse than pigs and dogs with the Eighth Miss?
This person may seem glamorous on the surface, living a life of luxury, but in reality, in front of Miss Eight, they are not even human.
You can only get beaten or scolded when Miss Eight is in a good mood. If you upset Miss Eight, don't say a word.
Liu Dong'er beckoned to the people and tiptoed to Qiao Jingjing's courtyard.
Should we take action, or not?
Prying open doors and windows isn't difficult; he can do it. She can also tie someone up and throw them into the river; she'll definitely do it beautifully.
But what happens after they pry open the doors and windows and throw the person into the river?
If this Miss Qiao is pulled out of the water tomorrow and becomes a corpse—no, she's not that lucky; she'll definitely be devoured by the big fish in the river, leaving only a pile of bones—what will Prefect Liu think?
The young lady is going against the prefect, but after all, she is the prefect's own daughter.
Liu Dong'er, a mere shoe carrier, dares to oppose the prefect?
Inappropriate.
That's quite inappropriate.
After much deliberation, Liu Dong'er decided to issue a strange order to his subordinates.
"Later, you'll just do this, this, this..."
The order was issued, and everyone started prying open doors and walls, eventually scaling the walls to get inside.
However, after prying open the door and windows, two people fell into the water vat inside the courtyard wall and couldn't get up. Two others were so frightened by the Tibetan mastiffs at the gate that they fainted. Liu Dong'er himself stepped off course, hit a stone pillar, and passed out.
Liu Ajiao's beauty sleep was so important to her that she stayed up all night by the lamp, waiting for news.
Surprisingly, they didn't wait.
Just as dawn was breaking, Liu Ajiao summoned the housekeeper and asked him to inquire about the situation over there.
The butler asked, "What's the situation there, Miss Eight?"
Liu Ajiao stared with wide eyes: "Which side are you talking about?"
The housekeeper just said, "Oh, oh, oh."
"Is that what you're talking about, Miss Eight? Yes, we caught several thieves who broke into the window in the middle of the night, and now they're tied up."
"What? You caught a few thieves... What thieves?"
The butler smiled.
"Hey, Miss Eight, what other thieves could there be? They're just trying to steal our agricultural secrets! There are about ten or eight trying to break into the walls and windows. Luckily, our agricultural officials are clever enough to know that the topic we're researching is top-secret, even nationwide, and cannot be leaked. Everyone's vigilance is very strong; all these thieves have been tied up and are sitting in the courtyard. Miss Eight, you mustn't tell anyone about this. Without the prefect's permission, no one dares to interrogate them."
"What? They want to interrogate me too!"
Liu Ajiao was incredulous.
Interrogation? What good is getting the information out of them?
The butler stroked his mustache; he looked quite presentable.
"Miss Eight, you may not know this, but this time, the matter is truly serious. These people intend to steal top-secret information. At best, they will be beheaded; at worst, well, that goes without saying."
The housekeeper left, leaving Liu Ajiao there, completely bewildered.
She just wanted to punish Qiao Jingjing and teach that bitch a lesson.
How did it become stealing top secrets?
Qiao Jingjing is a despicable woman, what kind of top-secret information could she possibly have?
Liu Ajiao had already thought of tens of thousands of ways to torture Qiao Jingjing: the tiger bench, chili water, the ten most cruel tortures of the Eastern Han Dynasty, skinning and dismembering, slow slicing...
They couldn't wait to use it on Qiao Jingjing.
But then I thought about it again, and something didn't seem right.
Isn't her father the key figure in this matter?
Isn't the key attitude in this matter the key attitude of his father?
Why was she scolded by Qiao Jingjing's father after she arrested Qiao Jingjing's vicious second sister-in-law? It's because her father is now biased towards Qiao Jingjing.
Why did her mother cry so bitterly in the letter? Wasn't it because her father was now bewitched by Qiao Jingjing?
no.
Absolutely not.
How could Liu Ajiao allow her father to make such a foolish mistake?
She came back this time to rectify the family's conduct.
Liu Ajiao, early in the morning, didn't care whether the old prefect had slept well the night before. For example, when he was making love with his concubine, he was interrupted by Qiao Jingjing and her men outside, and he couldn't get angry.
Early that morning, Liu Ajiao stormed over and knocked on the door of the prefect's concubine.
Prefect Liu was seething with anger.
The beautiful concubine nestled softly and sweetly in his arms.
"My lord, what's the matter so early in the morning? I'm still half asleep, please give me another hug!"
